You will need
■ A location that allows for proper exhaust installation. See

■ A grounded electrical outlet located within 2 ft (61 cm) of
either side of the dryer. See “Electrical Requirements.”
■ A sturdy floor to support the total weight (dryer and load) of

Do not operate your dryer at temperatures below 45ºF (7ºC). At
lower temperatures, the dryer might not shut off at the end of an
automatic cycle. Drying times can be extended.
The dryer must not be installed or stored in an area where it will
be exposed to water and/or weather.
Check code requirements. Some codes limit, or do not permit,
installation of the dryer in garages, closets, mobile homes or
sleeping quarters. Contact your local building inspector.
NOTE: No other fuel-burning appliance can be installed in the
same closet as a dryer.
Installation Clearances
The location must be large enough to allow the dryer door to
open fully.
Dryer Dimensions
*Most installations require a minimum 5" (12.7 cm) clearance
behind the dryer for the exhaust vent with elbow. See “Venting
Requirements.”
Installation spacing for recessed area or closet installation
The following spacing dimensions are recommended for this
dryer. This dryer has been tested for spacing of 0" (0 cm)
clearance on the sides and rear. Recommended spacing should
be considered for the following reasons:
■ Additional spacing should be considered for ease of
installation and servicing.
■ Additional clearances might be required for wall, door and
floor moldings.
■ Additional spacing should be considered on all sides of the
dryer to reduce noise transfer.
■ For closet installation, with a door, minimum ventilation
openings in the top and bottom of the door are required.
Louvered doors with equivalent ventilation openings are
acceptable.
■ Companion appliance spacing should also be considered.
■ Additional spacing is required if you exhaust out the rear of
the dryer to either the right or left side.
